many, even in our churches
where this lesson fill be studied,
are not strict abstainers and are
not notably identified with the
temperance movement
It is these circumstances and
prevalent conditions today that
give significance to a lesson
which puts more emphasis upon
causes than upon effects and re-
sult#. 1 have lung felt that ws
ought to lay more stress upon
discovering why people drink
and upon stopping the demand
for liquor, where the tendency
has been to tay n#ihldl tifion
stopping the supply. Of comae,
such a discovery would carry us
far beyond this lesson.
But the lesson from a Book
that is true to human Ufe and hu-
man nature throw# considerable
light on the problem. It would
